Enzo Wolf: /* Transporting mercs */

'''Mercs''' are mercenaries that you can buy for your own use. They will fight for you and guard a place if you tell them to do so. They are useful to guard a [[base]], for example, or to help you to kill [[creatures]].

== Managing mercs ==
[[File:Mercdialogue.JPG|thumb|An example for a '''merc''' dialogue option.]]
=== Recruiting ===
Mercs Recruiters are established in several [[towns]]. They are usually in a house, surrounded by some of their men. Talk to the Merc Recruiter to be able to buy him a merc. Once bought, a merc will belong to you until he dies, and will never ask you for more [[caps]].

=== Interests ===
As you can hire a lot of different mercs, and give them a lot of weapons, it would be good to know exactly what you want to do with them. For example, guarding a base, you'll need both: [[Big Guns]] mercs and snipers - [[ghouls]] snipers are awesome. Rockets may knock-out the enemy while snipers are shooting at him. To help you with getting [[experience]], you'll rather need mercs using energy rifles, making damages but slowly, to let you able to kill the mobs.

Mercs are expensive and never respawn. Making them wandering with you might be dangerous for them, so it would be smarter to use them as guards - for your [[base]], [[tent]], [[caravan]], whatever needs to be guarded. You can tell them to kill anyone but your faction's members, or to kill only your enemies or friends - record them on your faction's computer, etc.

=== Transporting mercs ===
Followers (both mercs and slaves, not players) formula is this one : ([[Charisma]]-1)/2 plus any additional perks that give you extra slots, like [[Magnetic Personality]].

Even the mercs/slaves guarding your tent (or base or any other place) are considered as following you, so pay attention to choosing which companions are the most useful for you.

== The buying ==
Please note that '''prices are changing''' all the time. If you buy a merc, buying the very same merc again will be a bit more expensive for everyone. Also, this price will decrease over time. '''Prices indicated here are then only the starting price for each merc.''' All mercs are delivered with a brand new, fully-loaded weapon.

=== [[New Reno]] ===
New Reno's merc recruiter is in the main entrance area, opposite the ''Desperados'' casino. He will sell you human mercs ([[HtH]], small guns, big guns, energy guns...). Those same mercs are also sold in NCR and Redding.
